Since their introduction, video poker machines have been a gaming floor mainstay in properties of all shapes and sizes—from megaresorts on The Strip to humble slot floors in smaller facilities throughout the nation. These machines—a hybrid of traditional table game poker with cutting-edge slot technology—continue to resonate among a core of loyal consumers, a fact not lost on operators seeking whatever edge they can find in an increasingly competitive gaming environment.

Aristocrat Technologies is in the process of rolling out a new slot machine based on the popular cable television show Sons of Anarchy. The Sons of Anarchy Slot Game features Jax, Gemma, Clay and all of viewers’ favorite characters from FX’s highest-rated series, creatively weaving the show’s storyline into the game and attracting a wide demographic. The game will also feature a number of new mechanics and technologies including Cluster Power, No Limits and Big Symbols, all of which provide a totally new way for a customer to play and win.

Few would argue that land-based slot machine play has been on a downward plane of late, the result of a rapidly aging player base combined with a seeming disdain for the slot experience among Gen X and younger consumer groups. To put it more bluntly, generations that drove slot machine popularity are passing, and there is no replacement consumer stepping up to take their place.
